Mesocrystalline materials and the involvement of oriented attachment – a review

In this work the oriented attachment and mesocrystal formation via non-classical pathways have been reviewed with particular emphasis being placed on their self-assembly mechanisms as well as the new collective properties of the resulting crystalline nanoparticular arrangements and their potential uses in applications.
